Charlton College to rethink school's design with budget funds

A northern Victorian school plans to demolish parts of its old building and modernise its facilities using State Government budget money.

Charlton College is one of several schools receiving capital works funding but it hopes to apply for more money in the future to do a bigger upgrade.

Principal Kelvin Baird says student numbers have declined in recent years therefore the school's design needs to be reworked.

"We've actually got a school that's larger than what we need in terms of the number of rooms and so there's some rooms which [are] currently not being used so this funding will enable some of those facilities to be reduced and modernised," he said.

Warracknabeal has also received money in the budget to plan its regeneration project where three schools would be located on the same site.
